Spring training hitting camp in Newington for 11-12-year-olds

NEWINGTON — Diamond King Productions is hosting a spring training hitting camp at USA Training Centers in Newington on Saturdays from 2 to 3:30 pm. It will run from Feb. 23 to March 30.

The camp is for players who are between the ages 11 and 12 and want to get ready for the upcoming baseball season.

This camp offers players the chance to train with the same video tools that is used by both college and professional players. Video technology is emerging as the premier training tool in sports. Each player will learn and develop the proper mechanics from our coaches and real game footage of professional hitters.

Players get online video lessons and drills to view at home so that they can learn about hitting outside of the camp as well.

This camp will be instructed by Ben Hart and Chris Anderson. Hart played division 1 baseball at both Vermont and UMass Amherst. He ran the video department for the DeMarini Top 96, where he worked closely with hundreds of college coaches breaking down and analyzing baseball mechanics.

Anderson was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2006. Since retiring in 2009, Anderson has been involved in coaching throughout the Seacoast.

If you would like to sign up for this camp, please call Ben Hart at 603-969-9034. The camp costs $300 for 6 weeks.
